Mission to the Mesozoic is a learning game developed for the Field Museum that teaches adolescents about the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous time periods. Players travel between eras as a time-hopping photographer, analyzing plants, animals, and environments to understand how they are connected. This interactive experience allows players to document prehistoric life, exploring the biological and environmental relationships that define these three distinct geological eras.
Geologic Time Periods, Paleontology, Evolutionary Relationships, Earth Science

Examine plants, animals, and environmental features in each period.
Identify connections between organisms and environments across eras.
Assume the role of a photographer documenting prehistoric life.
Understanding deep time and evolutionary relationships helps learners make sense of how life on Earth has changed. Mission to the Mesozoic supports this understanding by encouraging observation, comparison, and pattern recognition across major prehistoric eras.
